Mother of the BrideI can’t say enough great things about the talent, personality, versatility engagement, professionalism and FUN we had with this band! I am the Mother of the Bride and this band made our reception! I thought the weekend couldn’t be better, and then Bantum Rooster hit the stage! After the traditional dances, (which they played perfectly! “At Lastâ€, “Brown Eyed Girl†and “Georgia†have never sounded better) they played two crowd pleasers, and stepped down into the crowd bringing everyone onto the dance floor…and we rarely left! Their energy is incredible, and they move from one draw to another (amazing sax, vocals, drum solo, they’re in the crowd and the crowd is onstage, etc!). We LOVE this band and will recommend them to anyone having a dance celebration and needing great music. Thank you so much, Bantum Rooster!! You’re the talk of Raleigh! Marian T.

AdvisorWe LOVED having Bantum Rooster back on campus this year. They arrived when they said they would, set up without any need for help from our already overburdened staff and play for two hours plus, to the delight of our crowd. Tear-down was seamless. They were talented, fun and professional. We'd have them back in a second!!!

Bantum Rooster did an amazing job! They were interactive and had the crowd up and dancing for so many songs. We will definitely be booking them for another event in the future.

Wedding PlannerI don’t say this lightly. Hands down one of my top favorite bands I have ever worked with. Not only were you amazing musically, you guys are so cool. It is so refreshing to work with a band that is incredibly talented, but also a group of some of the nicest people I have ever met. I cannot rave enough about you. CC’ing my boy Hank on this email because he deserves to know how AMAZING my experience was with you all. If guests were raving about anything all night, it’s how great you guys were. THANK YOU!

St Patrick's Day ConcertI’ve been meaning to write you and let you know how awesome the band was!! I honestly cannot brag on them enough. They were truly remarkable and so great to work with. Not only did they sound great but the energy they brought was absolutely phenomenal! They kept the crowd singing and dancing from start to finish. They were so fun and everyone could tell they truly love what they do. I’ve been working here for almost 2 years now and I’ve seen many great variety bands but Bantum Rooster is, hands down, the best I have seen thus far (and I’m not just saying that). I can’t tell you how many locals I had come up and ask me if I could book them for our summer concert series. Everyone loved their performance as much as I did. I cannot wait to have the band back!
Also, Christian was so great and easy to work with. The both of you made this experience so easy and wonderful for all of us! Thank you for all of your hard work and allowing us to book this band. I look forward to working with you all again soon!!

Mother of the BrideWe could not have been happier with our selection of Bantum Rooster for our daughter’s wedding reception. They were fabulous musicians but even better entertainers who made sure everyone at the party had a great time at this very special occasion. I can’t tell you how many people commented on what a great band we had. The dance floor was filled the whole night.

Event CoordinatorThey are so much fun, so engaged and interactive with the audience, and they play a great mix of old and new school jams. Definitely a hit at our Sounds of Summer concert series. Christian was a pleasure to work with- a true professional in every sense of the word. We have been so pleased with their prior performances that we invited them back again for a third year in a row.
